The present disclosure relates to the field of electromagnetic wave imaging technology, and more particularly relates to a transmission structure.
BACKGROUNDTraditional light-transmitting materials, such as glass, have smooth and flat surfaces. Upon incidence of light, both the transmitted light and reflected light can form images. However, when there are inappropriate brightness distributions in the surrounding environment, these brightness distributions will be reflected by the light-transmitting materials, which causes people's visual fatigue or discomfort.
In the conventional technology, people solve the above problem by forming rough and matt structures (such as frosted glass) on the surfaces of such light-transmitting materials to cause diffuse reflection. However, when light is irradiated on such processed light-transmitting materials, neither transmitted light nor reflected light can form images. Therefore, people cannot obtain information through such light-transmitting materials, which is likely to cause much inconvenience in our daily lives.

As shown in
Specifically, a transmission phase of an electromagnetic wave of the second transmission unit II is equal or similar to a transmission phase of an electromagnetic wave of the first transmission unit I. A reflection phase of an electromagnetic wave of the second transmission unit II is different from a reflection phase of an electromagnetic wave of the first transmission unit I.
Transmission imaging requires a wavefront of the transmitted electromagnetic wave identical to a wavefront of the incident electromagnetic wave. In the present disclosure, the transmission phase of the first transmission unit I and the transmission phase of the second transmission unit II are the same or similar, and the transmitted wave can maintain the wavefront information of the incident electromagnetic wave, so that the electromagnetic wave can transmit through this transmission structure and form images on the transmission side of this transmission structure. Further, a transmittance of the first transmission unit I may be equal or similar to a transmittance of the second transmission unit II, so as to further improve the imaging quality of the transmitted wave.
The plurality of first transmission units I and the plurality of second transmission units II are arranged disorderly on a surface. Specifically, a size of the first transmission unit I and a size of the second transmission unit II may be similar to a wavelength of the incident electromagnetic wave, that is, the size may be set in a magnitude of wavelength or sub-wavelength. Of course, when the sizes of the first transmission unit I and the second transmission unit II are set in a magnitude of sub-wavelength, the single-sided imaging performance of the transmission structure will have a better effect.
Since the reflection phase of the second transmission unit II and the reflection phase of the first transmission unit I are different, after they are disorderly arranged on a surface to form a transmission structure, the reflected electromagnetic waves formed on the incident surface of the transmission structure after the electromagnetic waves incident on the transmission structure will interfere with each other, that is, constructive interference or destructive interference occurs, so that the energy distribution of the reflected electromagnetic waves is uneven, forming diffuse reflection. In this case, the wavefronts of the reflected electromagnetic waves are changed, and the same wavefronts as the wavefronts of the incident electromagnetic waves cannot be maintained, therefore, the electromagnetic waves reflected by this transmission structure cannot form images on the reflection side of this transmission structure.
The followings are four embodiments of the disordered arrangement of the transmission structure provided by the present disclosure.
Taking the transmission structure 100 shown in
For comparison, the present disclosure also shows a uniform transmission structure 500 having the same size and arranged only with the first transmission units I in
It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the disposed positions of the above first transmission units I and the disposed positions of the above second transmission units II may also be interchanged. The arrangements in the drawings are merely shown as examples in the present disclosure. In addition, the plurality of first transmission units I and the plurality of second transmission units II may be arranged on a surface, or may be arranged in a curved surface or a folded surface. The shape of the arrangement surface of the plurality of first transmission units I and the plurality of second transmission units II is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.
In some embodiments, the transmission phase φt2 of the electromagnetic wave of the second transmission unit II and the transmission phase φt1 of the electromagnetic wave of the first transmission unit I satisfy 0≤|φt2−φt1|≤0.5π. By controlling the transmission phase of the electromagnetic wave of the second transmission unit II and the transmission phase of the electromagnetic wave of the first transmission unit I to satisfy the above relationship, the transmitted electromagnetic wave can form images on the transmission side of the transmission structure, and the resulting image can have a certain clarity degree. Specifically, the transmission phase difference between the two transmission units may be 0, 0.1π, 0.2π, 0.3π, 0.4π, or 0.5π.
Specifically, taking the transmission structure 100 shown in
In some embodiments, the reflection phase φr2 of the electromagnetic wave of the second transmission unit II and the reflection phase φr1 of the electromagnetic wave of the first transmission unit I satisfy 0.6π≤|φr2−φr1|≤1.4π. By controlling the reflection phase of the electromagnetic wave of the second transmission unit II and the reflection phase of the electromagnetic wave of the first transmission unit I to satisfy the above relationship, the energy of the reflected electromagnetic waves can be more significantly dispersed toward the surroundings, so that the reflected electromagnetic waves cannot form images on the reflection side. Specifically, the reflection phase difference between the two transmission units may be 0.6π, 0.7π, 0.8π, 0.9π, 1.0π, 1.1π, 1.2π, 1.3π or 1.4π.
Specifically, taking the transmission structure 100 shown in
Further, upon satisfying the above relationship of the reflection phase, the modulus r2 of the reflection coefficient of the electromagnetic wave of the second transmission unit II and the modulus r1 of the reflection coefficient of the electromagnetic wave of the first transmission unit I satisfy 0.25≤r2/r1≤4. By controlling the reflectance of the electromagnetic wave of the second transmission unit II and the reflectance of the electromagnetic wave of the first transmission unit I to satisfy the above relationship, the energy of the reflected electromagnetic wave can have a significant energy dispersion effect on the reflection side of the transmission structure 100, further ensuring that the reflected electromagnetic wave cannot form images on the reflection side. Specifically, the ratio of the moduli of the reflection coefficients of the two transmission units may be 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 3, or 4.
Specifically, still taking the transmission structure 100 shown in
In addition, by adjusting its own size, the above transmission structure can further be applied to different wave bands, such as the visible light band and the microwave band. It should be noted that, the transmission structures with different disordered arrangement forms correspond to different transmission phase differences, reflection phase differences and differences of moduli of the reflection coefficients when realizing the single-sided imaging, and the technicians can adjust the disordered arrangement of the transmission structure according to the actual requirements of the transmission and reflection coefficient conditions to achieve a better effect of single-sided imaging.
In some embodiments, the aforementioned transmission structure may be designed by adjusting the effective relative dielectric constant and the effective relative magnetic permeability of the material.
Specifically, a thickness of the first transmission unit I and a thickness of the second transmission unit II in the normal direction of the incident surface of the transmission structure may be set to be equal, while a value ε1 of an effective relative dielectric constant of the first transmission unit I may be set to be equal to a value of an effective relative magnetic permeability μ2 of the second transmission unit II, a value of an effective relative magnetic permeability of the first transmission unit I may be set to be equal to a value of an effective relative dielectric constant ε2 of the second transmission unit II. Therefore, according to the transmission matrix theory in wave optics, the transmission matrix of the first transmission unit I can be obtained as
A1, B1, C1, and D1 are the corresponding transmission matrix elements respectively,
represents the impedance of the first transmission unit I, δ1 represents the longitudinal optical path of the electromagnetic wave in the first transmission unit I, it can be derived that, the transmission coefficient of the electromagnetic wave passing through the first transmission unit I is
and the reflection coefficient of the electromagnetic wave by the first transmission unit I is
η0 and ηg respectively represent the impedance of the material on the incident side and the impedance of the material on the exit side of the transmission structure, they usually have the same background material, such as air, therefore η0=ηg. Similarly, the transmission matrix of the second transmission unit II is
and in combination with the aforementioned conditions, it can be seen that,
δ1=δ2, therefore it can be further calculated that, t1=t2, rj=−r2, that is, in this case, the transmission phases, the transmittances, and the reflectances of the first transmission unit I and the second transmission unit II are the same, and the reflection phase difference therebetween is π, which satisfies the requirements for single-sided imaging of the aforementioned transmission structure.
Further, the first transmission unit I can be configured as a metal rod array and a metal split ring array having a first arrangement structure, the second transmission unit II can be configured as a metal rod array and a metal split ring array having a second arrangement structure, and the first arrangement structure is different from the second arrangement structure. The metal rod array can be used to adjust electrical resonance of the material, so as to adjust the effective relative dielectric constant of the material. The metal ring array can be used to adjust magnetic resonance of the material, so as to adjust the effective relative magnetic permeability of the material. Therefore, by respectively adjusting the arrangement structures of the metal rod array and the metal ring array in the two transmission units, the value of the effective relative dielectric constant ε1 of the first transmission unit I can be equal to the value of the effective relative magnetic permeability μ2 of the second transmission unit II, and the value of the effective relative magnetic permeability μ1 of the first transmission unit I can be equal to the value of the effective relative dielectric constant ε2 of the second transmission unit II.
In another embodiment, the first transmission unit I and the second transmission unit II have a metal rod array and a metal split ring array of the same arrangement structure, for example, the metal rods are arranged in one of the metal split rings to form a structure of a shape “E”, and then by adjusting a size of the metal rod of each of the transmission units and a size of the metal split ring in each of the transmission units, the value of the effective relative dielectric constant ε1 of the first transmission unit I can be equal to the value of the effective relative magnetic permeability μ2 of the second transmission unit II, and the value of the effective relative magnetic permeability μ1 of the first transmission unit I can be equal to the value of the effective relative dielectric constant ε2 of the second transmission unit II. It can be understood that the size of the metal rod includes but is not limited to a length, a width and a thickness of the metal rod, and the size of the metal split ring includes but is not limited to an inner diameter and a thickness of the metal split ring.
It should be noted that the materials in nature can also be used to prepare the transmission structure of this embodiment. For example, the relative dielectric constants of the nickel-zinc ferrite materials can be adjusted in a range of 10-1000, and the relative magnetic permeabilities of magnetic materials existing in nature and the effective relative magnetic permeabilities of artificial composite materials can also cover a large range. Therefore, by selecting two suitable uniform materials in nature, the value of the relative dielectric constant of the first transmission unit I can be equal to the value of the relative magnetic permeability of the second transmission unit II, and the value of the relative magnetic permeability of the first transmission unit I can be equal to the value of the relative dielectric constant of the second transmission unit II.
In some embodiments, the first transmission unit I includes a first portion and a second portion that are sequentially arranged in a normal direction of an incident surface of the transmission structure, the first portion and the second portion have different effective relative dielectric constants and/or have different effective relative magnetic permeabilities. The second transmission units II includes the second portion and the first portion that are sequentially arranged in the normal direction of the incident surface of the transmission structure. If shifting the first transmission unit I without rotating the first transmission unit I to make the first transmission unit I be stacked with the second transmission unit II along the normal direction of the incident surface of the transmission structure, the first transmission unit I and the second transmission unit II would be mirror symmetrical with respect to a plane parallel to the incident surface of the transmission structure. Here, the incident surface of the transmission structure refers to the incident surface of the electromagnetic wave on the transmission structure. For example, when the first transmission unit I and the second transmission unit II are cubes, the incident surface may be formed by the arrangement of the surfaces on the incident side of the plurality of first transmission units I and the plurality of second transmission units II. When the first transmission unit I and the second transmission unit II are spheres, the incident surface may be formed by the arrangement of the tangent planes at the incident portions of the plurality of first transmission units I and the plurality of second transmission units II. When the first transmission unit I and the second transmission unit II are irregular shape bodies, the incident surface may also be formed by the arrangement of the tangent planes at the incident portions of the plurality of first transmission units I and the plurality of second transmission units II.
Specifically, the first transmission unit I includes various forms, such as the first transmission units 11, 21, 31, 41, and 51 shown in
As shown in
A1, B1, C1, and D1 are the corresponding transmission matrix elements, respectively, and are related to the dielectric constants and magnetic permeabilities of the first portion 1 and the second portion 2. It can be derived that, the transmission coefficient of the electromagnetic wave passing through the first transmission unit 11 is
and the reflection coefficient of the electromagnetic wave by the first transmission unit 11 is
Similarly, in combination with the aforementioned conditions, it can be derived that the transmission matrix of the second transmission unit 12 is
and it is further obtained that the transmission coefficient of the electromagnetic wave passing through the second transmission unit 12 is
and the reflection coefficient of the electromagnetic wave by the second transmission unit 12 is
The background medium is usually a uniform material such as air, therefore η0=ηg, and it can be further seen that the first transmission unit 11 and the second transmission unit 12 have the same transmission coefficient, but the first transmission unit 11 has a reflection coefficient different from a reflection coefficient of the second transmission unit 12. Specifically, the reflection phase of the first transmission unit 11 may be different from the reflection phase of the second transmission unit 12, or the modulus of the reflection coefficient and the reflection phase of the first transmission unit 11 may be different from the modulus of the reflection coefficient and the reflection phase of the second transmission unit 12.

In some embodiments, the first portion and/or the second portion may be formed by compounding at least two different materials, so that the effective relative dielectric constant of the first portion is different from the effective relative dielectric constant of the second portion, and/or the effective relative magnetic permeability of the first portion is different from the effective relative magnetic permeability of the second portion. The effective parameters of the composite material can be calculated by Maxwell-Garnett theory, Bruggeman theory, and the like, according to corresponding applicable conditions.

There are many common transparent film layer materials, such as silicon oxide and titanium oxide thin films.
In some embodiments, the first portion of the first transmission unit 51 includes a first base body 511, the second portion thereof includes a second base body 512, and a first embedded block is disposed on a surface of or inside the first base body 511, and/or, a second embedded block is disposed on a surface of or inside the second base body 512. Taking the example shown in

Further, the light-transmitting material may be at least one of glass, resin, transparent crystal, liquid crystal, transparent liquid, and gas, so as to reduce light pollutions such as glare. Of course, the light-transmitting material may specifically be water, sodium chloride solution, alcohol, crystal, transparent plastic, or air, which are common materials in daily life.
The effect of single-sided imaging for the transmission structure composed of the first transmission units 51 and the corresponding second transmission units 52 whose material of base body is glass will be simulated in the following. Specifically, the lengths of the first transmission unit 51 in the x and z directions are both 160 nm, and the length thereof in they direction is 200 nm. The embedded block 5121 is configured as a cylinder with a cross-sectional diameter of 100 nm and a height of 50 nm. One cylindrical surface of the cylinder is disposed at the exit surface of the transmission structure 600, the plane M is the interface between the first base body 511 and the second base body 512 and passes through the center of the first transmission unit 51. Since the second transmission unit 52 and the first transmission unit 51 are mirror-symmetrical with respect to a plane parallel to the incident surface of the transmission structure when shifting the first transmission unit 51 without rotating the first transmission unit 51 to make the first transmission unit 51 be stacked with the second transmission unit 52 along the normal direction of the incident surface of the transmission structure, the structure of the second transmission unit 52 is the same as the structure of the first transmission unit 51, and which will not be repeated here.

Further, a frequency (400 THz to 450 THz) with a phase difference close to 180° may also be selected as the operating frequency of the transmission structure 600, that is, the effect of single-sided imaging of the transmission structure 600 further has a characteristic of wide band. As shown in
The above transmission structure 600 can make the incident light to form images on the transmission side but not form images on the reflection side within a wide frequency range and a wide angle range, thereby effectively eliminating optical pollutions such as glare caused by ordinary glass, and at the same time, it will not affect the information acquisition of human eyes, thereby greatly facilitating people's lives.
